I started loading my trailer today, so far 10 bins, 4 sets of rims and tires. 2 sets are empi style, 1 set aluminium slots, 1 chrome set. Also selling fiberglass fender set, and assorted headers with mufflers. Trying to downsize in my old age. Only coming for Sunday so save me a spot.

Picking up Dyno Don, the official MC for the All Air Cooled Gathering, at the airport this afternoon.

Looking forward to another record breaking show and swap!

It never rains for Flanders. They may as well just update the Farmer's Almanac to coincide with our little gathering. See you all around the camp fire!

It was a good show as always!
Well attended despite the morning drizzle.
I do feel Bad for the building and grounds director and the results of wet soft grass being driven over and walked upon!!!

A lot of Vanagons there, though few are aircooled.

was glad to get out and finally to make it to a show with everything that is going on in my world these days. Good to see some of my old vw friends. Great turnout and some vehicles i hadn't seen. Everything was well coordinated as far as i saw. Great job by the CJVWS!

I finally got to this showing (although not with my bus) and was really impressed with how great an event it was. I've been out of the scene for a while as my life is more fix-my-old-victorian-house these days, and the Westy is used mostly for trips to Home Depot, but this show reminded me of how nice VW people really are. Great show.

This was my first time at this show. A definitely must see for anyone who has never been. When I left Mass Saturday at 7am I wasn't sure what I was in for. 450 miles later and 18 gallons of gas my bus hit 79900 miles! Great weekend

When I came on Sunday, the gate people were all but pushing me to show despite me telling them that I was "pumping water".

One spectator came to me and said he had seen at least one Subaru conversion among the buses. I forgot to mention it to the rest of the club members. A water cooled violation!!! Laughing

This is only the second one of these I remember seeing in person. The 1/2 cab single.
The owner told me he found it in very rough shape, in Oklahoma, with the rockers full of Mexican newspapers for filler.

Fantastic video Cool Cool
The link didn't work for me so I copied and pasted the actual youtube # after getting on you tube itself.
You have got some great video production and editing skills !
